CHAPTER 3

Continuation of Delilah's POV

His red hair shines in the light of the room, and I notice his ear piercings as he slightly turns his head. He gives me an awkward smile and I return it, clarifying that both of us don't know what to say. "The name's Michael" he . 

"Delilah" I say shoving both of my hands into my pockets. I see aboy with black hair and chocolate eyes stroll up to us, and as soon I see him turn to Michael, I turn away. "Yo this party is awesome bro" the boy slurs and I can barely hear him over the blasting music. He giggles and slaps Michael on his back before turning and walking away. The boy is clearly drunk, he's wobbling and stumbling all over the tiny dorm room. 

"Sorry that's my friend Calum" Michael says shily, embarassed by his juvenille friend. "It's ok, I've seen drunk boys a lot" I say wishing I hadn't blurted that out. "Huh?" he says completely off guard. My brother Harry got drunk a lot with his friends. I haven't talked to him in a while, and he moved to California so we're thousands of miles apart. "Oh it's just you know London, people get drunk all the time" I bite my lip, thanking my big mouth that I didn't give any personal information away to the stranger with the red hair. 

"Um well I have to go, I'll see you around Oxford." Michael says as he does a 180 and jogs back to the juvenille boy with black hair.

Shailey's POV

I stare at the ceiling, wondering why they coudln't have a dorm room with three beds. I don't want a stranger for a roomate, and I'M definitley freaking out because she's not even here yet and classes ended three hours ago. The door creaks open and I snap up from the bed. A girl with purple hair and more piercings then I can count is standing in the middle of the room. "Oh you're the girl I'm supposed to share a room with, good luck" she chuckles and I gulp. She's wearing all black and has a purple back slinged over her shoulder. "Oh don't be so scared, I was just kidding" she says as she throws her bag onto the bed next to mine. 

"Are you going to decorate your wall?" she asks me and I nod. I observe her purple and black striped wall. Her wall is only decorated halfway of the room. She has posters of bands I'm not familiar of and skull stickers on every other part of the wall. "You have the other half of the dresser, please don't be like my old roomate, and have like a hundred piles of clothes" she begs and I nod once again not sure how I make the words come out of my mouth. I have clothes, but not like a 10-year outfit supply amount. 

"I'm not those annoying roomates with rules, you're obviously an adult and you can your own decisions. But if you break our dorm room, don't count on me to help you fix it, oh and the name is Kaylee." she laughs and I grin. She waves goodbye and exits our dorm room. She's funny and scary. Not the perfect mix, but something I can deal with. Once she's gone I decide to start painting my walls. I drive to home depot and pick out purple and aqua paint. I like her striped wall, so I'm going to use the same idea. Working my room takes me about five hours, but when I'm done it's worth it. The bed is white with pink sheets and a mint comforter. I put on at least a hundred pillows and Put on some adorable mirrors and posters of kittens and puppies. 

When Kaylee comes back into the room, her jaw drops at the sight of my half of the room. "You did all that in five hours?" she gapes, and it amazes that she knows how long it's been since she left to wander o and probably off campus. "Uh yeah" I say and grin at my work. 

"Damn" is the only thing that can escape her mouth. A boy with black appears in the room and he looks like the boy version of her. "Hey baby" she says her whole face lighting up at the sight of, I guess her boyfriend? "I turn around to grab my phone from my desk and as I turn around theyare already making out. I shift my head almost gagging at the sight of the well, intimate couple. "Um Delilah do you mind leaving for a few hours" she says out of breath, as her boyriend knocks her onto the matress.
